Everyone at my high school called our deputy headmistress Fanny, and when my Mum was at the same school they also used it as a nickname for their headmistress.

My late wife had an Aunt who's name was Fanny. On her birth and death cert's which we have here, it was just plain FANNY. DEEGEE.

I can remember being called that also as a child Dawn.

It exists in its own right.

I have an ancestor whose name that was . . on the birth certificate . . in the censuses . . . on her death certificate . . . having died at 23 she did not get to marry but three out of four supports the fact that it is its own name.

I am sure it does, especially as Ann was very common for middle names as well, in fact mine is Anne, so thats probably why my grandmother referred to me sometimes as "Fanny Ann."
